RAMALLAH, Monday, July 01, 2019 (WAFA) – Israeli forces detained at least five Palestinians from various parts of the West Bank, said local sources.
Israeli forces detained three Palestinians and ransacked several homes from al-Jalazoun refugee camp, north of Ramallah city.
During ensuing confrontations, soldiers opened fire towards local youngsters attempting to block their passage, causing a number to suffocate from tear gas.
In Jerusalem district, a Palestinian was rounded up during an Israeli military raid in As-Sawahira Ash-Sharqiya town, southeast of Jerusalem.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces rounded up a Palestinian from the vicinity of Umm al-Rihan village in the northern West Bank district of Jenin.
The detainee was identified as a resident of Anin town, west of Jenin.
Israeli forces frequently raid Palestinian houses almost on a daily basis across the West Bank on the pretext of searching for “wanted” Palestinians, triggering clashes with residents.
These raids, which take place also in areas under the full control of the Palestinian Authority, are conducted with no need for a search warrant, whenever and wherever the military chooses in keeping with its sweeping arbitrary powers.
